Request: All files available offline by default
Moving the Mac to the new File Provider is great - very happy this is finally happening and support on the new M1 is much better. Kudos!
Feature request: Really miss the feature to have Dropbox...
Hi everyone, and thanks for your patience.
We're re-launching the option to choose the default status of synced files in the Dropbox desktop application (in the Preferences > Sync tab) for users of the newer File Provider version.
It should be available to you shortly. If you haven't received it yet, make sure to update your desktop app, and let us know if you have any questions!
Is there a super user who uses Mac and can weigh in here? This is a nightmare. New Mac, weird new DB interface, files unavailable. I live in the developing world and move in and out of internet connectivity. Even when I'm online, it's very slow compared to the west... and syncing can take days.
I'm now moving between my new mac and my 'older' mac to access files which is far from ideal.
I need all files available offline, as they always were in the past. I've been a paid DB user for many years and it became part of my workflow. That's now broken. Please fix this and tell us how to configure in plain-language instructions (not access Root, etc. etc.) Because if you don't, many of us will look for other cloud solutions as we have nothing to lose if DB doesn't work.
Problem is, the current version of Dropbox doesn't look like the website you linked to. On my Dropbox, in sync preferences there is NO "New Files Default" option.
Exactly. It seems the above article is about the Intel implementation of Dropbox on Mac, not the M1 implementation. See the differences, left is the article, right shows my settings:
Another +1 here for this issue here - having everything offline is really important, I treat Dropbox just like any other folder in Finder. Hopefully this can be resolved soon.
